Ultimately, though, Grande diddecide to get back onstage, and has now become an increasingly vocal advocate for mental health. She even included a song, titled "Get Well Soon," inspired by her anxiety and dedicated to the Manchester victims on her new album Sweetener. And in a new interview with friend and collaborator Troye Sivan for Paper magazine, she got even more candid.

"[Pharrell Williams, who produced the album] kind of forced it out of me, because I was in a really bad place mentally," she said of "Get Well Soon." "I've always had anxiety, I've had anxiety for years. But when I got home from tour it reached a very different, intense peak. It became physical and I was not going out at all, and I felt like I was outside my body. I'd have these spells every now and then where I felt like I was having déjà vu, but like 24/7 for three months at a time."

She went on to explain that in the end, writing the track was healing.

"It definitely helped," Grande continued. "It still took me a few weeks to feel better, but looking back at it now from a healthier place, it's probably one of the most important songs I'll ever write."
